The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has been coordinating with the Ministry of Health to implement in an orderly manner the Cabinet’s decision to charge airlines the cost of PCR tests for all arriving passengers in the country upon their arrival and during the quarantine period, reports Al-Anba daily.

The coordination will also include a medical personnel affiliated with the Ministry of Health for the exit process and private laboratory staff to conduct PCR tests in the entry process.

A plan will be prepared to train the medical teams from private laboratories on the mechanism of work to conduct the necessary tests inside the passenger buildings, and to keep the medical staff affiliated with the Ministry of Health until it is confirmed that they perform the test process in accordance with the conditions and controls of the ministry.
